Monday, Monday...

Chris and I have five full weeks until this sweet baby girl is due to grace us with her presence. We need every bit of this time to finish preparing for her arrival. AND, Chris just left town early this morning on a business trip...what I believe will be his last out of town travel until after this baby arrives.

I feel HUGE! Sleeping is an adventure! Quite comical to even begin to call it sleep...because it's more like napping throughout the night. Chris offered me a pair of his boxers and a t-shirt to sleep in last night and I didn't have the heart to admit his boxers feel tight on me at this stage of my pregnancy! Nice...

I haven't become tired of feeling this baby move in my belly. I can sit in bed and watch her for as long as she moves. And, sometimes she moves for 15 to 20 minutes. Finally, last night I told her, "you need to go to bed, little girl". While I am enjoying watching her move, I nudge Chris off and on and say, "look, look". He often says he wonders what in the heck she is doing in there.

The bigger she gets, the more amazing her movements feel. After I eat a meal, and definitely by the end of the day, my belly is so darn tight I wonder how it can get any larger for this little girl over the next month. Where in the world will she go? Seriously, how much larger can I get? I have no more belly left, but our doctor says she is scheduled to weigh 8 pounds, 3 ounces.

Pregnancy is a miracle.
